So I absolutely want to give a huge shout-out to Rachel, my publisher, and Novel Suspects for making yesterday&#8217;s reveal a very special one!<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;ve made it this far, you must be a little curious about my queer werewolves, so here&#8217;s the full description of the book!<\/p>\n<p><em><b>A queer <\/b><b>Such Sharp Teeth<\/b><b> meets <\/b><b>Fatal Attraction<\/b><b>, in which a woman whose encounter with a magnetic stranger awakens both forbidden desire and the beast she\u2019s always been meant to become.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Elsa has never quite belonged. Growing up, she was always the strange girl, the outcast, the one almost nobody ever noticed. Now in her forties and married to her high school sweetheart,\u00a0she\u2019s\u00a0perfected the art of invisibility \u2013 the quiet wife; the woman who takes up as little space as possible. But beneath this fa\u00e7ade, something darker writhes, waiting.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When she meets Jacey at an airport bar, Elsa\u2019s carefully constructed world fractures.\u00a0Jacey is everything Elsa has denied herself: dangerous, magnetic, and absolutely lethal.\u00a0Their paths keep crossing, each encounter pulling Elsa deeper into Jacey\u2019s orbit \u2013 and closer to the monstrous truth.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But as secrets from Jacey\u2019s past resurface, and the body count rises, Elsa must\u00a0choose:\u00a0return to her cage of\u00a0normalcy, or\u00a0embrace the beast\u00a0she\u2019s\u00a0always longed to become.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, I&#8217;m absolutely over the moon about this book, and I&#8217;ll of course be talking plenty more about it in the coming months! In the meantime, consider giving my werewolves a pre-order, since that will ensure they howl with joy for many months to come.<\/p>\n<p>Happy werewolves, and happy reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you might have already heard me screaming from the rooftops, but just in case&#8230; I have a new novel coming out next year! *merrily screams from more rooftops* Everything Looks Better in Red is due out on April 20th, 2027 from Union Square &amp; Co., an imprint of Hachette.
